Our local NPR station KUAZ's show AZ Spotlight had a story on the arts and the economy this morning. They ran the AZ Illustrated feature on Gallery 801 and TRAC. You can listen to it and watch the video online on the KUAZ website. The story features Steven Derks, a brief interview with me, and in the video you can see my boys running around the gallery.

They also interviewed artist Rachelle Diaz of the local Tucson blog www.tuscene.com . Diaz's blog covers all the shows and happening on the Southern Arizona arts scene.

Friday June 5th Steven Derks and I were filmed at Gallery 801 for an upcoming segment on KUAT's Arizona Illustrated. The segment is about arts and the economy. I was told they are interviewing several local artists about using new marketing techniques like social networking i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc. to stay afloat in a down economy. I talked about TRAC (Tucson Revivalist Artist Collective) a group that Steven Derks founded that I am a part of that has put together a few shows at 801. For more on TRAC visit their website. To learn more about the show we put together called "Home Tweet Home" utilizing twitter click here: www.tweettucson.com .
